The Airbus (CASA/IPTN) CN-235 is a pioneer of the modern light-to-medium tactical transport market, a rugged and reliable workhorse jointly developed by Spain and Indonesia. Designed for short-range logistics and troop transport, the CN-235's high-wing, rear-ramp configuration and sturdy landing gear allow it to operate with ease from austere airstrips. Its exceptional "hot and high" performance and mission flexibility have made it a favorite for everything from coastal surveillance and maritime patrol to special operations support. With over 200 aircraft in service worldwide, the CN-235 remains a benchmark for dependable, multi-mission tactical aviation.
